What is the most boring football story out there?

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Is Wayne Rooney world class?

[sparkie]

The very dull narrative that Huddersfield are a world beating superteam.

 

[Easy 10]

The champions league.
Never watch it. Couldn't give a toss. And I love football.

Just as well its on BT Sport till 2021 then. ITV haven't even got highlights any more after this season.

116 people watched Sevilla v Leicester.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

England forever underachieving by not winning the World Cup or the Euros. Again.

 

[portlock seagull]

Really had enough of the whole Arsenal/Arsene Wenger saga.

It seems to have been going on for about eight seasons, precisely the same narrative - has he lost the plot, not won the league, not bought right players, not strengthened in right areas, too stubborn, won't change style when required, fans unhappy, has to go, never out of top four for decades, and worst of all Piers Morgan sounding off at regular intervals.

If you aren't actually an Arsenal fan (and maybe even if you are) it's got very tedious.

Any others? Rooney, possibly.

well said. Thing that irritates me is the column inches and media coverage devoted to it. But it's not 'news' by definition because as you say, it's been going on for 8 years! Much rather hear about what's going on at clubs outside the Premier than the Hokey Cokey story that is Arsenal PLC (10000 words daily), Wayne Rooney signs a new shinpad contract (8000 words). Meanwhile, 100+ year old club faces liquidation (not even news in brief)...Journalists: DO YOUR JOB!

 

[AmexRuislip]

Any story that involves Joey Barton, it bores me to

 

[timseagull]

Why do people leave early ? (Matches/beam backs)
Stories about 'firms'
I've never been to the Amex but when do villa tickets go on sale.?

 

[Poyningsgull]

Anyone talking about people leaving early. I would willingly pull the trigger myself to shut them up.

Don't they realise what utterly boring tw**s they sound.

 

[brightn'ove]

Financial fair play

 

[LowKarate]

Glasgow Rangers long road to recovery.

 

[DJ NOBO]

How will brexit affect football

 

[Is it PotG?]

The theory that Beckham was actually any good as a footballer and that Keane was hard.

 

[DJ NOBO]

The whole safe standing nonsense.

Prompted the most dull barber interview ever

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Leeds, Newcastle, Sheffield Wednesday, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa are massive clubs and should be in the premier league.

 

[Puppet Master]

John Barnes once scored an amazing goal in Brazil... in a friendly.

 

[Lurchy]

The Greek Superleague. Olympiacos F.C. have won it comfortably for the past 5 seasons.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Steven Gerrard's retirement.

From his announcement midway through a season, through to the final painful denouement, months and months later, was a monumental shitfest of spectacular SkySports brown-nosing and cronyism. Every week, a new "last". Here it is...Gerrard's last ever game at White Hart Lane! Gerrard's final Merseyside derby! Gerrard's last Europa League match! Gerrard's penultimate clash with Wenger! Gerrard's final game against the old enemy, Man United! Gerrard's final February home game! Gerrard's last ever midweek match at Anfield! Possibly Gerrard's last FA Cup tie! Gerrard's final Saturday home game! Gerrard's final Saturday away game! And finally- FINALLY!- his last ever one, accompanied by week-long previews, tributes, fanfares and the like. I remember they almost wept when Liverpool got knocked out of the FA Cup that season, thus denying Our Hero one big cup final moment of glory.

I mean, you know, he was decent, mostly for Liverpool, not quite so much for England, but come ON

 

[Nixonator]

People who submit dissertations on why they leave early and their freedom of choice.

People who harp on about atmosphere not effecting games of football and not recognising room for improvement.

People who monologue about safe-standing not being a return to terracing, when nobody in their right mind expects that.

Clough/Revie.

Leeds in general.

This thread.

 

[BN9 BHA]

Leeds, champions of Europe.

 

[GT49er]

There's always one.

The Katie variety, maybe?
